Laszlo and Bairstow (1983) investigated the relationship between kinesthesia, as measured by the Kinesthetic Sensitivity Test, and skilled motor behavior Two groups of children with low kinesthetic scores, as determined by the Kinesthetic Sensitivity Test, and a kinesthetically able control group, were pretested on kinesthetic acuity, kinesthetic memory, and certain drawing tasks. One group with kinesthetic impairment was trained over 6 days on kinesthetic acuity and memory tasks and on the drawing of a square, a diamond, and a triangle under a masking box. The second group with kinesthetic impairment was trained only on the drawing tasks over the 6 days. The control group also was trained on the drawing tasks A comparison of pretest scores and scores on posttests indicated significant improvement on all three tests by the group receiving kinesthetic training, but not by the other two groups, with the exception that the control group had significant improvement on the kinesthetic memory tests.
